The previous Andhra Pradesh government had assigned lands for farmers in Amaravati, in exchange for the lands that they had given the government for the development of Amaravati into the capital of AP. GO No. 41 was put in effect as well, in this regard, which the YSRCP government had abolished after it came to power, and introduced GO No. 316 in its stead.
According to this GO, these assigned lands do not belong to the farmers, and the government tried to take them away from the farmers. The government also said that every and any transactions that happened with the lands are illegal, and even sent notices to the farmers, asking reasons for why the lands shouldn’t be withdrawn.
The farmers then filed a petition in the High Court, against the notices that the AP government sent them, and the judgement on the case has been given today, with the HC ruling that the assigned lands belong to the farmers.
